Positive: The breakfast was bang on, perfect to start the day off with! Fresh scones, fruit 🍋‍🟩 👍The restaurant on site had fantastic meals and was popular with people from other resorts. Rooms are amazing and so big. The bar was great with a wide range of drinks both non and alcoholic. Staff very friendly, helping out with car rentals (200m down the road) at last minute (NZ 230 - 3 days) Great supermarket, cafe and restaurant down the road. Moana sea scooters turtle tour - recommend highly, 3 minutes away. Awesome beach to snorkel and see fish. And sooo quiet - perfect holiday spot!!!😎🌴
Negative: Nothing
Summary: Best snorkelling holiday ever!!

Positive: The location was great. The bed was comfortable.
Negative: Our beachfront cabin was a bit "tired". Breakfast was quite basic, but ok. There was only 1 washing machine for the whole place and no dryer as it was broken. I was unable to wash as the machine was either washing or had someone's wet clothes sitting in it.

Positive: Lovely laid back place to stay. The beach bungalow was in an amazing position right on the lovely beach and picture perfect location! The happy hour (and a half was) with local singer was fun too each Friday. The restaurant on-site was good with big portions ( although they did need 2 goes to cook my chicken thoroughly, but rectified it very politely!) The snorkelling directly off the beach is as good as I have seen and so easy to do even for beginners
Negative: Not much really. The breakfast is basic but adequate and only reason I have not given 10/10
Summary: Ideal quiet tropical place to stay to relax and enjoy Island life

Positive: The location is unbeatable with the beach just next to the beach bungalows where you can do snorkeling with beautiful fish all day. They provide snorkling gear free so that is great. The onsite restaurant is good and the staff is generally helpful and pleasant. Breakfast is average but no complaints. Being able to book airport transfers is really helpful too. There is a 24/7 super market about 400m away which is really good. Overall we had a great stay.
Negative: The restaurant is said to be open till around 8. We are late eaters so we prefer late timeslots for dinner. Because they did not accept late timeslots we preffered getting take away orders. However, while the restaurant accepted most of our dinner takeaway orders, there was some reluctance and attitude shown when we placed orders which was not really comfortable. May be it was a special case but thought of sharing what we felt.
Summary: Great stay right next to the beach !

Positive: Nice buffet breakfast of cereal, toast, yoghurt, fresh coconut, pawpaw and banana, tinned fruit, banana bread and pawpaw bread. Filter coffee, juice and tea. Can order a choice of several cooked breakfasts. Staff wonderfully friendly and helpful. Location away from the main bustle of town and resorts but a 5 minute walk to a grocery store which is open 24/7. Great snorkeling beach with lots of fish on your doorstep. 10 minute walk to 'swim with the turtles'. The garden units are landscaped so you can't see neighbouring units while sitting out on your patio.
Negative: The units were clean but a bit tired, probably due to having no tourists for a couple of years. The fridge had some rust on it and the towels were thin. (However, they offered to change them daily.) These things weren't important at all, with the buildings kept spotless and the gardens beautifully maintained.
Summary: Wonderful relaxing stay with private unit and friendly staff. Great to have a bar restaurant on site
